Venezuela, where government severely limits freedom of expression & criminalizes dissent, where 501 women were killed in one year as a result of domestic violence, where gov't-owned radio promotes antisemitic Protocols of Elders of Zion, wins UN HRC seat

Pakistan, where rape and 'honor' crimes are dire problem, where journalists are harassed & religious freedoms severely violated wins a 3-yr term on UN HRC (Pakistan 171 votes, US 131 votes; so much for Malala)
